Dear Blogger

I received an email today that reminded me how I’ve neglected my end of the bloggy world. The email said:

Dear Blogger, It sure has been a long time since you wrote on your blog!

In response to this email written by my loving hubby, I just have to say I’ve been so busy writing that by the time I get my day’s assignment done I am literally speechless or wordless.

I’m writing a new study devotional and it has been a season of juggling priorities. My days are filled with teaching two classes, writing, and keeping up with the household. Not to mention the conferences and retreats I’m scheduled to speak at in the next 8 weeks.

It’s a grand time, but a season where the blog gets neglected. Sorry to the one who checks in regularly — hubby!

  1. I love your blog but I must admit that I've not had much time for reading lately, so you are forgiven for your absence here. ;)

    I'm glad your writing and teaching has you so busy. What a wonderful place to be. :)

    God bless you,

  2. Well, what a good and faithful hubby! I have to MAKE mine check in!! LOL! ;)

    Can't wait for your new devotion. I have your first book, and look forward to getting my hands on your next one. Keep us posted!!

    Blessings and Hugs,

  3. Yes, well I miss your blogging also, yet I know we all have seasons. At least your hubby checks your blog, mine has never read a single word!
    Continued success on your newest book!

  4. Ah thanks girls! Hubby is great at stopping by and encouraging me. I hope to spend some time this summer freshening up this little bloggy home.

    Blessings friends!

  5. Life does get busy, so whenever you can write I'll stop by to read.

    love and hugs~Tammy

  6. hey alene! i'm a writer and blogger out of corpus and thought i'd introduce myself. i saw that my friend bianca is a fan of yours so i thought i'd say hi!

  7. God bless you as you balance your service to Him in family, writing, leading, teaching, blogging and all you do. May you always keep Him first place.

    So, SOOOO cool your hubby checks in on your blog and encourages you as he does!

  8. Go where HE is sending you. If it's taking a break from blogging to do HIS will, then so be it. It's a good God thing. I appreciate your ministry to others. Keep shining His light!

  9. I just think that's the sweetest thing ever that your hubby is a regular reader of your blog! That says VOLUMES! I wish my hubby would read my blog! He just doesn't read anything much except for the news and looking up parts and things for stuff like tractors and chainsaws! ha ha

    Hope you've had a lovely weekend!
